I’m unsure if this is a sore or if its just something thats made a bit if fur go weird but just noticed Jake’s nose has a bit of hair sticking up thats went a weird brown colour and underneath its red but i’m unsure if its just something hes got in his fur or if its a sore. Can’t really take a good photo but any help would be appreciated.

Hi! It can be just a little scratch underneath the scab, which should heal off in within a few days. |
But it can also be the start of a fungal skin infection or ringworm (the most aggressive and transmittable form of fungal). Keep an eye on it and see a vet if the area gets bigger quickly and there is a whiteish crust forming.
